We need more capacity, but I can't understand why everyone is wedded to Heathrow, other than certain people with vested interests. Yes a feasibility study does have to be done on a new hub airport such as Boris Island. Heathrow is a lousy place for an airport - too close to a major population centre, too cramped to be easily expandable. Both Gatwick and Stansted are more pleasant to use. Heathrow also has poor public transport connections from anywhere other than London, which is no good for the major "national" airport, and the road connections are via the over capacity M3 and M25. Yes of course we need to start thinking out of the box. And think how much housing could be built on Heathrow if and when it can be closed.

Oh nooooo - freedom and the internet in the graveyard slot - at least you can talk without notes and it's an interesting subject. Count the number of slumberers - one hopes there's a few - nay one demands!!

Another tough day at the "coal Face" but if you get a minute can you make enquiries in the area to see if there are any plans to bring back "Crossroads" many thanks.freedom to prosperPS Why not ban aeroplanes as this would help the ship building industry?

I'm awaiting your summary of the fringe meeting with David Davis with interest.

Overall a good man, whose absence from the Shadow Cabinet weakens Cameron's stance against the novice charge.

P.S. I don't think the Conservative's BofE plan stands up to scrutiny, but then again neither does Bush's (not enough money to do its stated aim). As for Gordon's plan - there are not enough expletives on the keyboard to describe it.

He lives in London! He recently got done for Drunk Driving again in London! Rather diminishes your crap about him.

I'M AFRAID NOT.

Guido fawkes aka Paul Staines is an Irish Citizen, with an Irish passport, whose home address and business address are listed in the Irish republic. He may have another London address, like many foreign business people, but that does not make him a UK citizen. FACT

"Iain, I'm not a Tory, but when will the Tories give you a safe seat?"

Such is the level of thirst for a Conservative government across Britain, EVERY seat will be a safe Tory seat at the next election as this corrupt, laughable Labour so-called "government"is wiped out entirely.

He whines about freedoms and restrictions, his pet hate; but try and post an anti guido or none Tory post on his Moderated blogg. Fucking hypocrite

He claims to have uncovered many political scoops, but it then later transpired that the press knew before him, he just was quicker to post. He is also a convicted DD no insurance, and a self confessed Acid head.

Sunday evening defense dedate at Conference. Simon Weston, the US special relationship, the fall of the berlin wall; these were the big talking points... How so 1980's is that. The Falklands was 26 years ago, cannon fodder simon was injured 26 years ago, for this to spearhead your dedate shows that you are living in your typical vitiolic past

The way Derek Draper and his minions are flooding this blog with their bilious hatred tells you everything you need to know about the dying embers of this disgusting, treacherous Labour so-called "government".

Well, the British public won't stand for it, Derek. They will see through your imbecilic trolling and vote for a party who conduct themselves with the grace and honour expected of the English. A party who will give them their country back.

You might have heard of them, Derek. They're called the Conservatives.

Interesting timing of the Bush announcement - 7.30am in the US. A bit early, even for the President surely. Or, am I suspicious enough to think that Herr Brown asked Bush to do him a small favour and time his announcement to coincide with Osborn's keynote speech?

There was no mention last night on any of the news channels of the disgraceful way that the military covenant has been undermined.

Anon at 10.44 really is quite appaling. People have died for you because they believed in that convenant which this government has cynically undermined.

What have we come to when serving men and women who lay their lives on the line, get the same pay as a traffic warden. Where are our priorities? Where are the government's? I'd like some of the trolls on this blog to answer that one with any credibility.

Your time, and your government's time, will come and it is a stench in the nostrils of decent people that you can even mention Simon Weston's name in that way. You exemplify all that is wrong with this country and you and your masters should go, and go now!

It doesn't matter how much you wriggle and spin - the corpse is twitching and eventually, even if a general election isn't held till 2010, the stench of your rotting flesh will be an offence to all the decent people of this country and your name, and that of Gordon Brown, will be a byword for ignominy.

Even if the Tories do win - and although that seems likely it's by no means certain that they will have a workable overall majority - the idea that all seats will be safe is laughable.

I still cannot see the details of what David Cameron is offering and the trend of his policies runs against the views of all the Tories I have met over the years. I know you want to get back into power - I suppose that's why some Tories will say almost anything.....

"Even if the Tories do win - and although that seems likely it's by no means certain that they will have a workable overall majority - the idea that all seats will be safe is laughable."

Thanks for that, Labour troll. But given the massive public thirst for a Conservative government that will give them the British people their country back, sadly for you and your power-crazed, corrupt so-called "government" it is entirely possible the Tories could win every seat they contest at the next election.

Reality Check: You seem to think I'm a Labour supporter. I'm not. Power is important, but only if you're doing the right things. The Labour Government has been in power for the past eleven years, but it's not done the right things, If the Tories get into power, what will they do? We still don't really know. If it's the survival of the country you're really interested in, the public deserve to know what you will do.

John Bull, since when has 41% been 'massive thirst'?

And if you want to know who I support you can get an idea from the link I provided earlier. I never have and never will be a Labour troll.

Briansj & old holbon - aft'noon chaps. Guess this is what happen when Iain leaves his comment moderation off. Think we're missing out on a good gig this aft with Iain & Guido slamming the MSM - be a good laugh.

Oh and idiots slamming GF for drink driving - he pleaded guilty and took his sentence well, posted it on his blog - err... not sure what more you want but i've no doubt it makes sense to someone, somewhere perhaps.

And slating Simon Weston is beyond the pale or common courtesey - if you want to slag him off I suggest you do it to his face but could you let me know beforehand so I can the beers in and get a comfy seat (preferably outside so I can have a cigar too). Unbelievably sneering, rude, ignorant, pathetic etc etc.

Heard it all before, and how ironic the speech was made in Birmingham . As in 2004 The Tories won Birmingham Council primarily because their leader, Mike Whitby, made the same pledge to freeze council tax. Between 2004 and 2008 he has raised council tax each and every year.

Interesting how Draper's rebuttal unit has backfired. Now, if there are any individually inspired anti-Tory posts, everyone will discount them as Draper propaganda. Keep it up lads (and lasses) you will quickly destroy the credibility of anyone who supports your party.

Even funnier, only last week Mike Whitby ( Tory Council Leader in Brum ) was complaining in The Birmingham Mail that central government interfered to much when it came to setting council tax levels; and he demanded more autonomy. Now he has the prospect of a Tory central government actually setting the actual rate. Floppy flop flop flop.

Labour troll - you know as well as anybody here the polls printed in the ZanuLab-controlled MMS are about as reliable as Gordon so-called "Brown" himself. I suspect a true opinion poll would put the Tories closer to 99% - but I'm sure newspapers and the Brown Broadcasting Corporation wouldn't refuse to report on such polls because their masters in Downing Street might be upset. Noooo....because the MMS in this country are COMPLETELY independent of ZanuLab, aren't they...

Fortunately, rigging a true election is not as easy as rigging a poll. The Tories will win a landslide at the next election, this corrupt, depraved Labour so-called "government" will be gone - and the Great British people will have their country back.

You need the trolls, now more than ever. The Shadow Chancellor just gave his speech. Tory bloggs greeted with silence, because it was terrible.

All the obsession with Boris has gone out the window in the past few months; Latin for young offenders, tree hugging, Fantasy Island airports. This is just plain embarrassing. Hence the silence on Tory bloggs.

Then we have Iain Oakley, Spielman admitting that you can still lose, Boris still being a daft twat, one of you ardent supporter Guido being a complete air head freak . Not fogetting Obama heading for the white house. Seems McCain visit to Tories last year was a waste of time - the list goes on.

And finally, you have absolutely nothing positive to say about yourself. Obsessed with Labour , not Tory.

Anon 2.26 - you, Sir, are an arse, Sir. I know Iain doesn't like swearing so if you could just nip off back to cif then it'd be better. In the mean time you could go back to studying for your social work course or tap dancing yourself to social ridicule - or whatever the hell pointless garbage takes up your depraved and irrelevant life.

Oh, and it's probably financial issues that have kind of distracted debate about the US general election - i'm no pundit but that'd be my guess. 5th form analysis from a 3rd form brain.

What ever next, that other Tory lick arse Sen McCain....How can you be a hero when your skills as a pilot meant you were shot down by an enemy who were armed with bamboo shoots and pea shooters. September 29, 2008 2:26 PM"

With such a thin grasp of history, I can now understand your blind and unquestioning fixation with all things Labour (despite 11 years of continual lies and f**k ups).

The North Vietnamese were supplied with Migs and SAAMs courtesy of their Communist (Socialist?) friends, while the Argentinians were supplied with Mirage aircraft and Exocet missiles by their French friends (while we subsidised their farmers through the EC - as it was called then).

Monkey - I do not believe you are aware of the level of vitriol that ha been garnered by this administration. I watched Osborne's speech though it capable, well researched and realistic. However, the Torie are in opposition and this current pile of ne'er do wells have sold us all down the river - RBS on the wain - God knows when it'll end. So if you don't mind resting your blinkered weltenshaung elsewhere I'd appreciate it - what the hell are you doing here anyway?

WHAT..... is that how you greeted Sen McCain last year. Jesus you people are amazing.

Earilier this week you were all keen to high light Brown not getting to meet the president on his trip. Then he did meet him and he was a lap dog. Flip Flop, look left look right, up, down, then claim consistancy.

Draper and his twats are to the fore,fiddle while Rome burns boys,it's coming down around your ears...and you know it,yet all you can do is get your RRU boys to try and balls up a good comments page...arseholes

Methinks the so-called "rapid rebuttal unit", one lonely troll, is none other than our old friend DES, posting as "monkey" (which he's done before), using a spell checker (with difficulty) but forgetting that "bloggs" is a proper name and doesn't get picked up. Idiot.

anon 10:44. Oh dear, I realise that all this must just be a bit of a difficulat subject for you bearing in mind that you were not even born during the time of the Falklands. I am of course making that judgement from the content of your post. It is so infantile that a mature adult could not possibly have written it. As for taking up shipping from trade. This has occured in every conflict the world has ever known. There is no way or requirement to maintain a huge shipping fleet on the off chance it will be required. Even the Americans and Russians do not maintain enough shipping lift capacity to move their troops. Something else you should bear in mind before making pathetic juvenile comments such as yours is that we currently are the proud owners of more Admirals (41) than ships (40). Now get back to your homework and stop bothering the adults.P.S. I thought that the Dollies rebutal unit was rubbish initially but the more of this dreck that appears the more I am coming to believe it. No one other than Zanu Liebour functionaries could be this poor at the job they suck money out of the tax payer for.

Derek "DROOPER" Draper,called in from the cold by Snotgobbler,has set up a NuLab Web Stasi to run down any pro Consevative blogs and comments,he is,my friend,pissing in the wind,the tide has turned and will sweep ol' One Eye out of power,when he dares to go to the people.

Dez - you're quite right - Gideon actually studied economics whilst Jonah did history - and history ofsome weirdo Glaswegian knob if memory serves. He had no friends at school and doesn't now. How long were you persona non-grata in Labour circles? Does chesty Kate know about your coke fuelled 3 in a bed sessions with whores or your persistent alcohol problem. Yup, no match at all.

Derek Draper from what I have seen has failed to ignite a debate, let alone end Tory dominance of Cyber-space. Childish rants aside from Labour, they do not have any fire in their belly or arguments to counter the Tory insurgency.

The Tories are on the side of the public, Labour are in it only for themselves. Labour and the Liberal Democrats are doomed at the next election. Between Labour and the LD's they have turned this country into a basket case!

Gordon is the Peoples PrimeMinister,I think it's important to recognise that when one is in crisis one needs a one-eyed,twitchy,compulsive liar by ones side.......who needs pensions and Gold reserves anyway,huh?.By the by Connaught Sq is available for 200k.. anyone

I think Derek Draper is the personification of the Labour party. A washed-up, bit part player that is a shadow of it's former self. A rag-bag appearance wearing a threadbare suit of clothes. The message is as bad as the image for Labour: LABOUR are Doomed - DOOMED! The Labour Party is not heading for a close shave but a thorough routing like Dapers stubble!

Anon - whilst I kinda like Gideon I think holding him in anyway significant in getting Bush elected is err tenuous beyond belief and should have the tag - utter bollox.

Jaco - it's because you're an ejeet. I've never known anyone except Charles Clarke quote himself but who cares? Is it hamburgers? Is it hamburgers for tea? Oooh - you're a lucky boy arencha? Now off you fuck.

The David Davis event was great, the blogging one less so but it was smashing to see the lot of you up on stage like that.

Whoever it is slagging off the Tories for "using" Simon Weston; it seems clear to me that you did not actually see his speech. He absolutely made the most of his time at the podium and was brutally frank in his fears that an incoming Tory government would forget the issue. Definitely the most impassioned of yesterday's speeches (I haven't seen any of today's mind!)

Hope Cameron brings back my main man David Davis to cabinet.Meanwhile does anyone else find these evil nu lab anons commenting here tiresome? I think they're getting desperate as the public is actually paying attention to the Tories. Tories are discussing care of the elderly at the moment and it's all very thoughtful.Meanwhile, in view of anon @ 11.50 am, pls ask if nu lab are now an anti gay party.

It wouldn't surprise me if this Draper nonsense was being paid for by the taxpayer. We all know Labour doesn't have any money. I wonder if there's a way for us to find out. Naturally, they will refuse FoI requests...

possibly one of the most stupid idots i have ever heard. A man in his 40's. It was like listening to a misguided teenager, who should when 41 look back and squirm at video tape of themselves when 17. But Guido is still doing it.

Yo Derek Draper, no use in hiding behind anonymity. Your stupidity shows. It is for twits like you, I gave the speech attacking that Liverpool militant worm. With people like you on his side, no wonder Brown bottled it and is sulking inside that No10 bunker.

I don't like comment moderation but with the RRU out in force I think it might be a good idea. Intelligent and well thought out left-wing comments are fine but there's a load of blatant winding up going on on this thread.

Osborne's speech was excellent - the kind of frank estimation of our economy that Gordon and his minions have signally failed to do. The events in the stock market this evening vindicate Osborne completely.

The misrepresentation of Simon Weston and the event last night on the military convenant, by trolls and low lives on this blog, shows just how far this country has sunk. That these people, who will not even dare to stand up and be counted on a blog, let alone in the front line of a battle, have such gut-wrenching cynicism as to use his name as political armament, is beyond belief and says far more about the Labour party and its supporters than anything I could put together.

Carry on trolls - you're just making our case for us. You're the kind of people who think it is ok for 60 service men to be killed because Gordon Brown refused to release budget for the right kind of equipment whilst expending a cool £2bn of taxpayers money on fighting the Crewe and Nantwich by-election.

Words fail me, you scum. Wait till we introduce National Service and you'll get a real taste of life then and won't have time for writing this filth.

If you don't understand what it's all about go have a look at the charity "Help for Heroes" (www.helpforheroes.org.uk)or check out how this country treated the Gurkhas under Gordon's prudent administration (www.gaeso.org.uk). He was happy to take blood, and even taxes but not to give them refuge - and these were winners of the Victoria Cross.

Gordon is a disgrace and morally as well as financially bankrupt and it is high time he and you understood you are finished. The decent people of this country want no more of you.

Blair got re elected for the third time .... Milibands ,Vaz, Balls,Harperson , straw ,mandy ,and even the bloody chipmonk , also get re elected , ....the world is in financial meltdown , and people on here are knobbin off on on an 80's war , probably why the broon still thinks that he still has a chance to part the seas and lead us to his promised socialist screwed up utopia ...the voices told him so ....and the muppets who vote for him ... will let him get on with his self anointed job ....

Its all an empty toss ...and a pox on ALL POLItico's ....fed up with them all.... bast'ards

In 8 years time we will be having the same conversations about who ever is running the cons (and it wont be dave ,he will have been knifed , smaller balls than thatcher and too much like blair ....)

We need a minimum age of around 45 before any potential pig can put their snout in the public trough , So they will have a bit more realism to their political positions and more effin common sense ... no bastard "professional"politicos straight from student life and running the tea and coffee kitty to effin number 11.....and we put them there ....what ..?

A crises of confidence my arse ...Its a crises of competence

May Dante's vision come true to every one of the tossers who have sat in the Westminster sty over the last 10 years

Wrong. Osborne's degree was in Modern History. His knowledge of Economics is very limited. That is why Evan Davis in the Today programme this morning, after Osborne had been trying to belittle Cable and his economics views, said "Do you know as much economics as Vince Cable, George?". Osborne didn't know how to respond to that.

Anonymous @ 10.48 pm - what bollox! First Osborne did not try to belittle Cable, he simply said he disagreed with him on Northern Rock (fair point) Evan Davis then announced that people should vote for Vince Cable. An extraordinary breach of BBC rules on impartiality.

The pure hatred of the Conservative Party was evident on Newsnight. Relegated to five minutes at the end, there was an interview with George Osborne and a minute's "analysis" from their political editor that amounted to "Labour have a small chance of pulling through due to the world financial crisis".

I have just cut and pasted some of the disgusting comments here and sent them off to my father. He's a labour man through and through and active in the party. But he is also an honourable man which is more than I can say about the pathetic trolls here today.

You don't get it do you ... we hate, detest, loathe and abhor you and your party. We hold you and your leader in deep contempt and the only thing that I am sorry about is that I will not be able to hang the lot of you from the lamp posts.

Now is it beginning to sink into you thick skulls you despicable sewer rats?
